A New York Times bestseller
An
astonishing—and astonishingly entertaining—history of Hollywood’s
transformation over the past five decades as seen through the agency at
the heart of it all, from the #1 bestselling co-author of Live from New York and Those Guys Have All the Fun.
The
movies you watch, the TV shows you adore, the concerts and sporting
events you attend—behind the curtain of nearly all of these is an
immensely powerful and secretive corporation known as Creative Artists
Agency. Started in 1975, when five bright and brash employees of a
creaky William Morris office left to open their own, strikingly
innovative talent agency, CAA would come to revolutionize the
entertainment industry, and over the next several decades its tentacles
would spread aggressively throughout the worlds of movies, television,
music, advertising, and investment banking.
Powerhouse is
the fascinating, no-holds-barred saga of that ascent. Drawing on
unprecedented and exclusive access to the men and women who built and
battled with CAA, as well as financial information never before made
public, author James Andrew Miller spins a tale of boundless ambition,
ruthless egomania, ceaseless empire building, greed, and personal
betrayal. It is also a story of prophetic brilliance, magnificent
artistry, singular genius, entrepreneurial courage, strategic daring,
foxhole brotherhood, and how one firm utterly transformed the
entertainment business.
Here are the real Star Wars—complete with a
Death Star—told through the voices of those who were there. Packed with
scores of stars from movies, television, music, and sports, as well as a
tremendously compelling cast of agents, studio executives, network
chiefs, league commissioners, private equity partners, tech CEOs, and
media tycoons, Powerhouse is itself a Hollywood blockbuster of the most spectacular sort.
